Hope and Jamie’s Cedar Hall wedding will make you say “OH MY STARS!” Truly.
Hope and Jamie actually got married last July, but it feels like yesterday. Memphis is about as hot as it gets in July, but Hope and Jamie never complained once. These two truly had their eye on the goal of a wonderful marriage (and the wedding was just a bonus!)
Hope and Jamie got ready at Bellevue Baptist Church, which is actually where their ceremony was held, but we then traveled to Cedar Hall for all of the portraits. Hope’s sweet bridesmaids stood around her to help her get ready in Cedar Hall’s stunning bridal suite. What’s to say about this lovely venue I haven’t said 1,000 times before? It’s timeless, elegant, and one of the most charming Historic homes in Tennessee. It has tons of character just like Hope and Jamie. It’s so clearly evident why they fell in love with it. We shoot there frequently, and we fall in love all over again each time we get there.
Hope and Jamie were 100% on board with a first look, which made us absolutely ecstatic. Cedar Hall has so many gorgeous locations, Hope and Jamie were able to take advantage of all of them. Doing a first look before the ceremony allowed Hope and Jamie to be able to enjoy their full reception. They also got to spend the entire wedding day together, instead of having to stay in separate quarters. They got to take their time and just enjoy their most special day. For those of you future couples who are on the fence about a first look, trust us, it’s worth it. Hope’s gorgeous dress and dreamy veil were both from Maggie Louise Bridal. Every bride we’ve ever had that purchases their gown from Maggie Louise just raves about them. We highly recommend checking them out if you haven’t already. Hope’s makeup was so timeless, yet made a statement, and it was done by Ashley Parsons. The stunning florals were designed by L and Jay Productions.
Both Hope and Jamie’s sweet families were an absolute joy to spend the day with. It was truly wonderful to see the love and support their families provided them on their most special day. It’s evident where Hope and Jamie get their loving, generous personalities from. We know their families are so proud of the wonderful people they’ve become.
Hope and Jamie, thank you so much for giving us the complete honor of capturing your wedding day. We will cherish these sweet memories forever!
